Poco India officially announced that the Poco X8 Power 5G will hit Indian shelves on September 4, 2026. The flagship‑grade device is built around a 10,000mAh lithium‑polymer battery, a capacity that places it among the largest power packs available in mainstream smartphones. Powering the phone is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 system‑on‑chip, a mid‑range processor that promises 5G connectivity, AI‑enhanced performance and improved energy efficiency compared with its predecessor. The company has not released a detailed price list yet, but market analysts anticipate a launch price near Rs 35,000, positioning the X8 Power as a premium offering in Poco’s value‑focused lineup.
In parallel, a non‑5G variant dubbed the Poco X8 is expected to follow shortly. Leaks suggest the X8 will carry a slightly smaller 9,000mAh battery and be equipped with the newer Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset. Both models are rumored to sport 1.5K resolution AMOLED panels, a 50‑megapixel main sensor with optical image stabilization, and robust IP ratings that could offer water and dust resistance comparable to higher‑end flagships. While exact pricing for the standard X8 remains unconfirmed, the combination of high‑capacity batteries, advanced displays and competitive camera hardware signals Poco’s intent to capture the mid‑range segment that demands endurance and premium features without a flagship price tag.
